(semi-OT) viewing lilypond svg files

Does anybody have any suggestions for SVG viewers that support LilyPond's svg files? I keep on finding SVG viewers that don't support fonts. :( Alternatively, do you know of any libraries that can do this? Cheers, - Graham ___ lilypond-user maili

need some lyrics alignment in a melisma

Hi. I'm typing in some Sacred Harp music. Is there a way to make a word in a melisma be aligned the same as words that are tied to a single note? See, in the four part music, for long stretches people might be singing the music in the same time, but one voice might use two short notes to sing t

making midi output ignore accidentals?

Is there a simple way to make the midi output of a piece ignore accidentals? By this I mean, if the printed sheet music shows a b-flat in the key of C major, I would just want b-normal to go out to the midi file. In Sacred Harp music, accidentals are sometimes (though rarely) printed, but are ig

how to stop an accidental from being printed?

I was entering Erik Satie's piece "Vexations" which is heavy on accidentals. In front of the sharps and flats, lilypond puts a (*) symbol, where * represents the "natural" accidental. This gets annoying. Is there a way to turn it off? I just want the accidentals themselves to be shown; if you

beaming only inside slurs? is possible?

Hi. I'm typesetting some Sacred Harp music. This is four part vocal music. For clarity in singing, is there a knob or setting so that notes will only be beamed together when they are part of a melisma? Since that may be too hard, how about a knob or setting so that beaming is only done on note

One-line examples for each entry in 12.1.7 "Overview of available music functions"?

Hi Graham, Looking up the syntax for \pitchedTrill this evening, I had a thought. How about one-line examples for each entry in 12.1.7 "Overview of available music functions"? Each entry in the overview would then look something like ... pitchedTrill - main-note (music) [\startTrillSpan] secon

probably a bug?

Hi list, Using version 2.10.9 I found a bug concerning beams during staff-changes at PianoStaffs: If the right hand has its notation in the lower staff, then do the beams during \stemUp appear too high, exactly just before the next staff-change will happen. Stem-lengths seem to be normal, so the

Arrows in markup text

Hi, Using : LilyPond 2.11.9 on Mac OS X.4.8 I would like to put a markup text as : (left arrow) (quarter note) = (dotted quarter note) (right arrow), for making Carter-like "rythmic modulations". I don't know how to put arrows. Putting the arrow from the Mac text character set doesn't work. I l
